You're All Surrounded

Hey Everyone!

It has been a while since I last posted on here! I actually have finished quite a few dramas between my last post and now, but I just haven't had a chance to sit down and write the reviews. I admit, I have finished a few more than the reviews I will post because a few of them I just skimmed through for fun and do not feel they need to be reviewed. However, if anyone is interested in knowing all the dramas that I have watched thusfar, please view My Drama List. Anyways, the most recent drama that I finished (like literally a few minutes ago) was You're All Surrounded. This drama starred Lee Seung Gi and Go Ara. I have to admit, Go Ara is getting in my good books since her role in Reply 1994. I honestly thought maybe she was a one-hit pony, but she actually did a great job in this new drama as well. The drama was mainly about police detectives and a major unsolved case from 11 years ago. The first scene showed the current year where new recruits were welcome to the Gangnam police station. There, we met Eun Dae Gu/Kim Ji Yong, Uh Soo Soon, Park Tae Il, and Ji Gook. The four ended up on Seo Pan Suk's team. Suddenly, we are taken back to the past (11 years ago) during one of PS's cases. PS at that time was investigating a businessman and Kim Ji Yong's mother was an eye witness. However, during the investigation, suddenly JY's mother was killed and JY was chased by her killer. In the current time, it turned out that the case was never solved. The rest of the drama revolved around JY trying to figure out what really happened and who really killed his mother. The drama had great humour as well as sad scenes. I have to admit it was a nice emotional rollercoaster ride. I will definitely give this drama a 5 out of 5 stars because there was plenty of closure. That's it for now.

Hey Everyone!

Happy New Year! I hope everyone has an even better year this year, than the last. I ended 2013 by finally finishing Reply 1994. It was such a good drama! I absolutely love the comedy in the Reply dramas. After Reply 1997's success, I was really looking forward to Reply 1994. However, I was not sure if I would like Go Ah Ra (not the biggest fan) as the lead actress, but she did a good job in this drama. The drama was mainly about Sung Na Jung and the people that stayed at her parent's boarding house. NJ and her family moved to Seoul a few years before all the boarders were at the house. At first, her childhood friend Sseureki (Trash) was the only boarder, but then Haitei and Jo Yoon Jin moved in. The drama began with Samcheonpo moving into the boarding house, followed by Bing Geu Re (who brought his cousin, Chil Bong over a lot). All of the boarders were from the country and moved to Seoul for school. Initially, NJ did not develop any feelings for anyone until she suddenly fell for Trash. At that time, Trash only saw her as a little sister. Meanwhile, CB had a huge crush on NJ. The rest of the drama kept the audience on the edge of their seat, trying to figure out who NJ would end up with. The teasing throughout the drama was anxiety-provoking. The drama kept me anticipating the next episode each week. I really liked it and each of the secondary characters had some cute story-lines too. I give this drama a 5 out of 5 stars because it was such a good drama, with both feels and comedy. That's it for now.
